Christmas at our farm park

29th November - 23rd December

Looking for a Christmas family day out everyone will love? At Cattle Country, it’s all about seasonal fun, magical moments, and memory-making adventure. From decorating gingerbread and exploring the farm to meeting the big man himself, there’s so much to see and do.

Our 2025 Christmas Experience

This is more than a chance to meet Father Christmas, it’s a full festive experience. From our immersive Mrs Claus’ Kitchen and posting letters to the North Pole to enjoying Elf story time and picking up a few treats along the way, it’s a relaxed, joy-filled day that has been designed to delight. .

Meet Father Christmas

Wander through our enchanting Christmas barn, filled with twinkling lights and magical photo opportunities at every turn. Mix up your own reindeer food to leave out on Christmas Eve, then step into our cosy, sparkling grotto for a truly unforgettable festive moment. Each child will enjoy a warm, personalised chat with Father Christmas, share their Christmas wishes, and receive a special gift.

Mrs Claus’ Kitchen

Brand new for 2025, join Mrs. Claus in her oversized kitchen for a hands-on gingerbread decorating experience. Follow her guidance to create your own treat to take home and enjoy. While kids get creative, the grown-ups can relax and savour a special festive treat of their own.

The Post Room

Step into our charming little Post Room, where children can write and post their letters to Father Christmas. Once it's sealed and posted in our magical red post box, the elves take it from there, with guaranteed reindeer delivery straight to The North Pole.

A magical, festive farm

Alongside the Christmas magic, enjoy all-day access to the farm park! Let the kids run wild in our two huge indoor play barns, get creative with Christmas crafts, and add some sparkle with glitter tattoos. There’s also plenty of opportunities to snap festive photos and tuck into seasonal treats at Graze Café.

Elf Story Time

Snuggle in for a magical festive tale told by our cheerful North Pole storyteller, Jingle. This is a calm, cosy moment where little ones can take a break from the excitement, curl up on a cushion, and be whisked away on a Christmas adventure to find out why this year’s Christmas gift has been chosen.

Marshmallow Toasting

Gather around the crackling firepits for a toasty festive treat! Each child will receive their own marshmallows to toast to golden perfection (or extra gooey, if that’s your style). It’s the perfect way to warm chilly fingers.

The Cowshed is incredible, the Christmas magic was spread around the park, and the perfectly executed Father Christmas visit was absolutely magical! All the staff are lovely! The cafe was so well organized with such a short wait for delicious food. We’ve all come away from today beaming and talking about how special it all was. Well done Cattle Country!"
